Dreams
The Temper Trap Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One hand holds another, tangled fingers tell a tale
I know every single line across your face so well
We don't wanna, we don't wanna, wanna walk alone forever
We don't wanna live without each other in the end

Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, we follow

One hand breaks another, broken bones can always mend
Loss will be a blessing that will turn us back again
Cause we don't wanna, we don't wanna, wanna walk alone forever
We don't wanna live without each other in the end

Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, we follow

Where our dreams go
There we will follow

Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, where our dreams go




Where our dreams go, where our dreams go
Where our dreams go, we follow

The chorus highlights the idea of following one's dreams together. Repeating the line "where our dreams go, we follow," emphasizes the importance of creating a shared future and the idea that they are following their dreams together. The second verse suggests that despite the obstacles that may come their way, broken bones, and loss, they still have each other, and they will find a way back to each other. The song emphasizes the importance of connection and the idea that the two people will always find a way back to each other, no matter what happens.


The song’s overall theme is about the importance of relationships and the idea that we are all connected in some way.
